A Sad and Fatal Accident.

On Monday last while Mr.. J. c.
Martin living near Myoma station,
was rolling a piece of land with a
heavy roller, his little two-year old
boy came toddling toward him and
and cried to have bis father take him
up and give him ride on the ma
chine. After some coaxing Mr. Mar
tin took up the boy and started the
team. He had not gone far when he
got off to remove rock that was in
bis way leaving the child in the seat
From some cause the horses gave a
sudden start, throwing the boy be-
tween the roller and some brush, and
and catching him by the neck, broke
it instantly, aud the poor little fellow
was dead before he could be released
1t was a moment of horror to the
father, on beholding his boy dead,
who moment before was full of life.
The sad accident brought gloom to
the family and friends. Mr. Martin
and his wife have the sympathy of
all in their loss -NelUS

-Copious rains have ended the
Texas drouth, thereby relieving the
suffering and anxiety of the people.

Mrs. Sarah f. Howe, the Bos'

That is Howe Sarah does the bank

1t is probable that the Inter

The thunder storm which passed
over this section lately proved fatal
at Niles, o. Mrs Michael Maloney
being strdck by lightning and in
stantly killed, while in the act OF
closing a window. The lightning
struck the chimney, killing the wo-
man, and passing down, shattered a
cooking stove AID badly stunned the
husband of the deceased, hurling him
from a chair and killing cat under
the stove. Mrs Maloney was forty
years Of age and left two children.
An exceedingly piliable case
came to light in the Chicago Court
Of Insane Inquiry on Friday. On
Christmas Eve, while Max Dreher,
twelve -year-old boy, was sleeping
in the bakery at which he worked
two men approached the sleeping
boy. One of the men was dressed
in manner to represent the devil,
while the other was attired in sheet
and assumed the role of a ghost.
The men awakened young Dreher,
and, showing him knife, threatened
to disembowel him, at the same time
cutting his wrist slightly. The boy
was so paralyzed by fright that he be-
came gibberiHg idiot and has re-
manned so since that time.
Isn't it awful to think of! There
is great excitement among the mem
bers of the Massachusetts legislature
over charges of wholesale bribery
brought against them in connection
with some recent legislation. An
investigation is demanded by the
citizens of Boston and Beverly, the
places affected, and it will probably
be made. Meantime, the Senate has
reconsidered its approval of the OBJ
noxious bill, and the money spent by
the lobby will prove to have been
hopelessly wasted,
And now q cloud falls on the
work of the type writer, that Won
derfully ingenious machine that rem
ders comparatively easy work of the
scribe. 1t is said in the government
departments at Washington, where
nearly all the work is now done by
these instruments, that the inks used
are as unstable and evaneseent as the
handsome aniline dyes, that the work
done by them several years ago is
already fading and is in fair way
of becoming completely obliterated

Our Wealthy Men.

Much has been said in the newspapers of
men who have made large fortunes in COM
paratively few years in various business in
dustries. Many of these articles are written
by correspondents of prominent newspapers,
and copied into others of lesser note. Cor
respondents generally are seldom men of bus
mess qualifications and wrongfully picture
these men and their business as a thing of
accident; this is not the case With these we
have met We Gnd that where men have
made large fortunes by their own business
talent and industry they chose with sagacity
and forethought such business as would lead
to success when handled with business judg-
ment. No man has been brought brought
before the public as an example of success

ness (oqtside of stock and railroad men

A Child Fatally Burned.

One of the saddest deaths that
ever occurred in this community was
that Of little Agnes, the sig -year-old
daughter of Casper Waugh, the black
smith. Last Saturday afternoon,
while romping about the premises at
her home, near the Presbyterian
Church. Agnes and neighbor's lit
tie gil were attracted to heap Of
rubbish which had been raked together
in the garden near the house and set
on fire. The weather being quite
chilly the children epdeavored to keep
warm by standing with their backs
to the fire. While in this position a
sudden gust of wind blew the flames
against little Agnes, setting FIRE to
her dress. She Immediately ran
screaming into the house, where her
mother seeing her all ablaze snatched
a piece of carpet from the floor, threw
it over the child, and after strenuous
efforts succeeded in extinguishing the
FIRE, but not until it had burnt nearly
every stitch of clothing On the chiid's
body. Notwithstanding the kind and
tender treatment bestowed upon the
little sufferer, who was terribly burn
ed from the knees to the waist, she
fingered in much pain until Monday
night at 10 o'clock when she died.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon, and the remains were in
tered in Collins cemetery near Fair
view
In her efforts to save her daughter,
Mrs. Waugh was so seriously burned
about the hands that she hag not
since been able TO use them The
stricken and bereaved parents, who
have the sympathy of the entire com.
munity, feel grateful to kind friends
and neighbors for doing all in their
power to alleviate the suffering of
their daughter. Asn8a was o bright
and beautiful child, the picture of ro-
bust health, and being the youngest
Of the family was the pet of the
household -Petrolia Record,

There has been large change in
the clothing business in this place
during the past few years The time
was when only the cheapest grades OF
goods were purchased and to get q
suit that would fit you was about an
imposibility. Now this is all chang,
ed. The material used in the cloth
ing is as good as the best and an or
dinary we'll made man can get as
good fit as the average tailor would
give him. Much of this improve
ment in the quality and style OF cloth
ing is due to Mr.. John n. Patterson.
He saw the necessity of the change
and made it. Now one can 60 to his
store and purchase wedding suit
good enough for any man to ''stand
up" in and it don't cost a small for
tune, either. His clothing, from the
best to the cheapest, is made up in

to tell, when worn whether it was
